SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 209
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
join the civic and business leaders of the Coastal Bend in
celebrating February 22, 2023, as Coastal Bend Day at the
Capitol; and
WHEREAS, Each year, the Texas Coastal Bend draws more than
10 million travelers from across the country and around the
world; millions of guests help infuse the region and the City of
Corpus Christi with more than a billion dollars each year and
support thousands of jobs; and
WHEREAS, The Coastal Bend region has been recognized by the
National Park Service as Texas' only World War II heritage site,
where the training of more than 35,000 naval aviators at Naval
Air Station Corpus Christi greatly contributed to the success of
the war effort; and
WHEREAS, The myriad of popular attractions in the area
includes Padre Island National Seashore, the Texas State
Aquarium, the USS Lexington aircraft carrier, and many youth and
amateur sporting events; and
WHEREAS, The Coastal Bend is home to a thriving industry
due to the Port of Corpus Christi, the largest port in the United
States in total revenue tonnage and a major economic engine of
Texas and the United States; and
WHEREAS, There are many fine educational institutions in
the Coastal Bend area, including Texas A&M University-Corpus
Christi, Del Mar Community College, Coastal Bend College, and the
schools in the Corpus Christi Independent School District, all of
which work to educate and train the workforce and the leaders of
the future; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
Legislature, hereby recognize February 22, 2023, as Coastal Bend
Day at the State Capitol and extend to the region's delegation
sincere best wishes for a memorable and enjoyable event; and, be
it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in
honor of this special occasion.
